prattle about the Word of God, but as long as so many deluded people follow them, we must keep on their track and help to warn the unwary. He said: “ The new view of the Bible which I am to present, is the view acceptable to our age. Two generations hence it may be necessary to revise that which we now hold.” No doubt that will be true for the devil keeps these enemies of the Bible busy finding some excuse for holding on to their pulpit jobs while putting it over upon the unsophisticated people who are paying their bills. "The old view,” he tells us, “ contained three fundamental elements. First —-verbal inspiration. Second— absolute infallibility. Thirds—plenary authority. “ This old view of the Bible, as thus stated, has been for many years taught by the church as of supreme importance. But in our time there has arisen a new school of thought which, with the scientific temper, is subjecting all of this to a careful and critical analysis.” ¡5This is where he seeks to “ put it over.” The “ new view,” as he calls it, is as old as the devil himself, and the devil has been working it ever since Eve fell for it in the Garden of Eden. To quote more at length would be to rehash what every student knows is not new at all, but the old Satanic subterfuge worked threadbare; but these men who pose as preachers are able to make the dear unsuspecting people believe that they are “ scholars” of scientific minds, and that from their ponderous brains have been evolved some startling scientific secrets for which the world has been waiting with bated breath. The man who dished this up to a large audience of ignorant hearers is but a sample of a large company of men who adorn (?) the pulpits of the country and who seek to exploit the insipid view s of men rather than to teach the inspired Word of God. “ ’Tis true, ’tis pity, and pity ’tis, ’tis true!’ ’ Pray for them.
